Nervi e la prefabbricazione strutturale: lo Stadio Flaminio a Roma (1957-59)

To ensure the rapidity of construction, the traditional construction site was accompanied by an area used exclusively to produce the prefabricated elements of the grandstand and the canopy (7,652 elements). The grandstand is based on a structure of 92 exposed reinforced concrete frames connected by secondary beams and the steps. Each step is formed from two prefabricated elements, based on a system patented by Nervi specifically for the Stadium. It consists of two prefabricated elements: a “U”-shaped load bearing element and the second element, supported by the first, forms the steps and seating. The canopy (27 m) is made of undulated prefabricated elements in ferrocemento lightened by round openings fitted with wired glass. The paper must highlight the specificity and originality of the solutions adopted by Nervi and his skill as a designer and builder.

The architecture is unquestionably extraordinary, and not only for its size. The complex, comprised of public housing and services for more than 8,000 residents, was designed between 1972 and 1974 by Mario Fiorentino, along with a large group of associates, and was built in the following ten years. As a result of deterioration due to its incompletion, lack of maintenance, continuous squatting and difficulties for diverse residents to coexist, the Corviale has, for years, represented the manifesto of disastrous public housing policies in Italy

Architettura e costruzione delle colonie climatiche nell’Italia fascista. La questione del controllo ambientale / Architecture and Construction of Children’s Colonie in Fascist Italy. The Question of Environmental Control

These projects included a series of sponsors: the federations of the party, national institutions, industrial and charitable organizations. This heterogeneity has prevented the development of a building type with common identifiable features and also led to projects. In the mid-30s a new building-type became widespread. Some examples - the colonie of Mazzoni in Tirrenia, of Vaccaro and of Griffini in Cesenatico, of BBPR in Legnano, of Daneri in Santo Stefano D’Aveto, of Bonadè Bottino in Cervia, of Busiri Vici in Cattolica and of Minoletti in Formia - are of interest considering their typological and compositional research, their constructive aspects and architectural results and reveal innovation in construction techniques. The importance of this heritage is evident. It is potentially rich but poorly understood in its originality considering that many buildings have been demolished, abandoned or have undergone improper renovation. This paper aims to identify their unique characteristics in order to describe a strategy of restoration and reuse. Le colonie climatiche appartengono agli organismi destinati dal Partito fascista all’educazione e all’assistenza dei giovani italiani. La committenza è varia: dal partito alle amministrazioni dello Stato, a gruppi industriali, a enti assistenziali. Questa varietà impedisce l’elaborazione di un tipo edilizio con tratti identitari e si riflette sui progetti. Negli anni trenta il tipo edilizio conosce una forte diffusione territoriale. Alcuni edifici - le colonie di Mazzoni a Tirrenia, di Vaccaro e di Griffini a Cesenatico, dei BBPR a Legnano, di Daneri a Santo Stefano d’Aveto, di Bonadè Bottino a Cervia, di Busiri Vici a Cattolica, di Minoletti a Formia – risultano esemplari per la ricerca tipologica, per gli esiti architettonici e per le soluzioni costruttive e testimoniano anche l’innovazione nei materiali e nelle tecniche edilizie. Il patrimonio che le colonie oggi rappresentano è ricco di potenzialità, ma scarsamente compreso nella sua originalità: molti edifici sono stati demoliti, recuperati impropriamente o abbandonati al degrado. Il paper individua le caratteristiche architettoniche e costruttive delle colonie mettendo a fuoco i sistemi usati per il controllo delle condizioni ambientali.

The text presents both a summary of the research carried out on the terracing and the canopy of the Stadium (built using “structural prefabrication”) and draws attention to the research methodology, of which this study is a part. The research was funded by the Getty Foundation with the aim of formulating guidelines for the future conservation project of the Stadium.

The plan was designed to counteract widespread unemployment in the construction sector and aimed to provide new and modern social housing to the poorer classes, thus simultaneously responding to the housing emergency. During the 14 years between 1949 and 1963, architects designed, and construction companies built a housing patrimony of remarkable quality, which now becomes an opportunity to develop strategies of urban revitalization.

The guidelines, which serve as a basis for future conservation work on the Flaminio Stadium (built in Rome for the XVII Olympics in 1960 and now protected as a cultural asset), stem from a methodology based on a precise reconstruction of the various phases of the project, including its construction, as well as a critical analysis of the original and current physical elements of the Stadium.

Si vuole così creare un luogo per un dibattito culturale su argomenti interdisciplinari con la finalità di approfondire tematiche attinenti a differenti ambiti di studio che vadano dalla storia, al restauro, alla progettazione architettonica e strutturale, all'analisi tecnologica, al paesaggio e alla città. Le finalità scientifiche e culturali del progetto EDA trovano le ragioni nel pensiero di Werner Heisenberg Premio Nobel per la Fisica nel 1932.

The contributions illustrate the critical issues related to architectural listings, with a brief history of national approaches, a linkography and a short bibliography. The book also provides a short critical lexicography, with 12 papers written by scholars and experts including topics on identities, heritages, conservation, memories and the economy. By examining the methods used to designate building as heritage sites across the continents, this book provides a comprehensive overview of current protection policies of twentieth-century architecture as well as the role of architectural history.
